The really profound think about junk in orbit is that "What goes

And now it's only going to cost us another $10+ trillion in order to
clean up the mess we created.

It's not going to cost anything - because no one is willing to pay for it to
be done!

That's true. It'll be every man, woman, child and satellite for
itself.

In reality, our NASA and Russia like having that crap flying every

into space.

Come 2028 and 2029 should be the ultimate test, of who can still orbit
without being taken out by some kind of rogue space debris, and simply
let the next 10 generations pay for everything.
